Solution

The correct option is D Mesosome
Mesosomes in a bacteria cell act as mitochondria, because bacteria do not have organelles with membranes, mesosomes generate ATP energy for bacteria. They also help to self replicate bacterial DNA. When replicating, the two polynucleotide chains attach to the mesosome and then divide into two.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
